                         INTRODUCTION

     The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticlde Act
(FIFRA sec. 3(g)) directs EPA to reregister all pesticides as
expeditiously as possible.

     To carry out this task, EPA has established the Regis-
tration Standards program, which will review all pesticide
products containing active Ingredients first registered before
January 1, 1977.  Pesticides will be reviewed in use clusters
which have been ranked to give earliest review to pesticides
used on food and feed crops.

     The Registration Standards program Involves a thorough
review of the scientific data base underlying pesticide
registrations and an identification of essential but missing
studies which may not have been required when the product
was initially registered or studies that are now considered
insufficient.  EPA's reassessment results in the development
of a regulatory position, contained in a Registration Standard,
on each pesticide and its uses.  The Agency may require the
registrant to modify product labels to provide additional
precautionary statements, restrict the use of the pesticide
to certified applicators, provide reentry intervals, modify
uses or formulation types, specify certain packaging limitations,
or other requirements to assure that proper use of the pesticide
will not result in adverse effects on the environment.

     The scientific review, which is not contained in this
Guidance Package but is available from the National Technical
Information Service, concentrates on the technical grade of
the active ingredient and identifies missing generic data.
However, during the review of these'data we are also looking
for potential hazards that may be associated with the end use
(formulated) products that, p.ontain the active ingredient. If we
have serious concerns, we will address end use products as
part of the Registration Standards program and will propose
regulatory actions to the extent necessary- to protect the
public.

     EPA has the authority under FIFRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B) to
require registrants to submit data that will answer our
questions regarding the hazard that may result from the
Intended use of a pesticide.  Although sec. 3(c)(2)(B) provides
that all registrants are responsible for these data, the
Agency generally imposes generic data requirements only on the
registrants of the manufacturing use products (basic suppliers

-------
of the active ingredient) and other producers who do not
qualify for the formulator's exemption.*

     A producer who wishes to qualify for the formulator's
exemption may change his source of supply to a registered
source, provided the source does not share ownership in
common with the registrant's firm.  A registrant may do so
by submitting a new Confidential Statement of Formula, EPA
Form 8570-4, identifying the registered source of the active
ingredient, to the appropriate Product Manager within 90
days of receipt of this Guidance Document.  The chart on the
following page shows what is generally required of those who
do ar.d do not qualify for the formulator's exemption in the
Registration Standards program.

     If you decide to request the Agency to cancel the regis-
tration of any of your products subject to the requirements
of this Guidance Document, please notify the Product Manager
named in the cover letter, within 90 days from the receipt
of this document.  If you decide to maintain your product
registration(s), you must provide the information described in
the following pages within the timeframes outlined. EPA will
issue a notice of Intent to cancel or suspend the registration
of any currently registered product which does not comply
with the requirements set forth in this Guidance Document.

    You are reminded that FIFRA sec. 6(a)(2) requires you to
submit factual Information raising concerns of possible
unreasonable adverse effects of a pesticide. You should
notify the Agency of interim results of studies in progress
If those results show possible adverse effects.
•The formulator's exemption applies to a registrant of an
product if the source of his active ingredlent(s):  (1) is a
registered product and (2) is purchased from a source which
does not have ownership in common with the registrant's
firm.

  ACTION(S) REQUIRED TO
  MAINTAIN REGISTRATION
 I.  Products That Do Not Qualify
    For The Formulator's Exemption

    A.  Single Active Ingredient
       Products*
These products must be reregis-
tered. To obtain reregistration,
labeling, packaging and data
requirements must be satisfied
in accordance with the Regis-
tration Standards Guidance
Document.
    B.  Multiple Active Ingredient
       Products
These products will not be
reregistered at this time. .
However, generic data required
to continue the registration of
the active ingredient under
review, as described in the
Registration Standards Guidance
Document, will be required and
some labeling precautions may
also be required.
 II.   Products  That Do Qualify For
      The  Formulator1s Exemption
Only when additional restric-
tions or labeling are needed to
protect man or the environment
will these products be subject
to the Registration Standard
requirements. Affected products
will be dealt with in a variety
of ways, including but not
limited to the Label Improvement
Program and special intent
to cancel notices.
 *  End-use  products of registrants who also produce a manufacturing-
 use product will not be required to be reregistered provided that
 registrant fulfills the requirements specified in the Guidance
 Document for manufacturing-use product(s). Such end-use products
 will be  subject to the labeling changes required.for products in "II".
 above.  If  there are no manufacturing-use products registered by any
 company  end-use products will be required to be reregistered.

INOTE:  If all registrants in "I" above fail to meet the requirements in
JI-A and  B  above, then the registrants in "II" lose their right to
(qualify  for the formulator's exemption and become subject to the
I requirements in I-A and B.

                              I.  REGULATORY ASSESSMENT


 A.  INTRODUCTION

 This  Registration Standard describes the regulatory position and rationale of
 the Environnental Protection Agency (the "Agency")  for all  registered manufacturing-
 use products (MPs) containing sodium bentazon as  the sole active ingredient.*
 This  Standard also will require cetain changes on the labels of end-use products
  (EPs) containing sodium bentazon.   The Agency bases its position and rationale
 on an evaluation of all MPs, and Section 3, 24(c),  and Intrastate uses registered
 for sodium bentazon.  After briefly describing the  chemical and Its uses, this
 chapter presents the Agency's regulatory position and rationale, the criteria
 for registration, acceptable.ranges and limits, labeling requirements, and the
 current tolerances.

 B.  IESCRIPTION OP CHEMICAL

 Bentazon Is the acceptable cannon name (approved  by the Anerlcan National Standards
 Institute and the Weed Science Science Society of America)  for the herbicide
 with  the chemical name of 3-(l^thylethyl)-lH-2,l,3-benzothladiazln-4(3H)-one   '
 2,2-dioxide.  The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)  Registry number for bentazon
 is 50723-80-3 while the EPA Office  of Pesticide Program's Chemical Code Number •
 Is 275200.

 All products currently marketed In  the U.S. contain the sodium salt of bentazon
 as the active Ingredient, referred  to as', sodium bentazon.  Sodium bentazon MP is
 marketed under the name "Bentazon Manufacturer's  Concentrate". Sodium bentazon
 single active Ingredient EP is  marketed under the name "Basagran* Postemergence
 Herbicide".  A multiple active  ingredient EP (mixture with  atrazlne) is marketed
 under the name "Laddock" Postemergence Flowable Herbicide". The EPA Office of
 Pesticide Program's Chemical Code Number is 103901  for sodium  bentazon.
 The chemical  formula for bentazon is CioH^N^ChjS and the molecular weight is
 240.3*  Pure  analytical  standard (i.e., purer than technical) bentazon is ttoite.
 Technical grade bentazon (Isolated before formation of the sodium salt)
 Is  an odorless, non-volatile solid with a melting  point  of 137-139°C.  Its
 solubility  (g/100 g  solvent, 20°C) is 0.05 to water and  150.7 to acetone.  Sodium
 bentazon is considerably more soluble to water than bentazon, with a solubility
 of  230 g/100  g to water.

 Sodium bentazon is a post-emergence contact herbicide  used to control selected
 broadleaf weeds and  sedges.  It is applied by ground or  air as a broadcast foliar
 spray following weed emergence.  Various tank mixes are  also permitted.  See the
 EPA Index entry to this  guidance package for additional  label information, Including
 the use sites for viiich  sodium bentazon is registered.


 C.  Regulatory Position  and Rationale


T.   The available data do not Indicate that any of the risk criteria listed to
     § 162.U  (a) of  Title 40 of, the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations have been
     met or  exceeded  for  the uses of sodium bentazon at the present time.  However,
     substantial data gaps exist.

-------
Rationale:

   (Note:  Agency data requirements for reregistration are described in 40 CFR Part
           158.  The data tables in this guidance package relate these specifically
           to bentazon and sodium bentazon.)

   Hunan/Domestic Animal Hazard

   Sodium bentazon belongs in Tbxlcity Category III (defined In 40 CFR 162.10)
   based upon acceptable acute oral and acute dennal data.  An acute Inhalation
   study is supplementary (valid but does not meet EPA guideline requirements)
   and will need to be repeated.

   Subchronic data are supplementary (90-day rat feeding study and 13-week dog
   study; bentazon) or invalid (21-day dennal study; sodium bentazon), and
   will require.replacement.  Compound-related effects were seen at 300 and
   3000 ppm test levels in the dog study (numerous effects at 3000 ppm; prostatitis
   at 300 ppm was basis of lowest-effect-level of 300 ppm and no-effect-level
   of 100 ppm).  A one year dog study is required for hazard assessment.

   All chronic toxiclty data for bentazon are supplementary or Invalid, and
   will require replacement.  24-month rat and 18-month mouse studies have been
   invalidated, and a "for cause" laboratory audit requested, due to substantial
   deficiencies.  In a supplementary mouse oncogenlcity study, no specific
   clinical or pathological symptoms could be associated with bentazon exposure.

   A rat 3-generation reproduction study found no compound-related effects up
   to a dietary level of 180 ppm.  However, without effects at the highest dose,
   the dose selection Is considered inadequate and an additional reproduction
   study is required.

   The available rat and rabbit teratogeniclty studies are Inadequate, but do
   not suggest that bentazon is a potent teratogen or fetotoxlc agent.  Terata
   were observed In one rat study at a dose of 200 mg/kg/day, but the utility
   and validity of these data are In question.  Additional teratology studies
   In the rat and rabbit are required.

   A variety of mutagenlcity studies  (analytical grade bentazon; or sodium
   bentazon) have been reviewed, but none are adequate for regulatory purposes.
   This is also the case for metabolism studies with labeled bentazon.

   Ecological Effects

   Technical bentazon Is considered slightly toxic to birds based on subacute
   dietary testing.  Formulated bentazon is  considered slightly toxic to birds
   based on acute oral testing with a 50* a.i. wettable powder.  Avian reproduction
   testing did not show effects up to the highest dietary level tested,
   but the studies were found to lack vital  Information and do not presently
   meet EPA guideline requirements.

   Technical bentazon is characterized by EPA as  practically nontoxic to both
   coldwater and wannwater fish, and  slightly toxic  to aquatic Invertebrates,
   based on review of acute testing.   Formulated  bentazon is considered practically
   nontoxic to coldwater and wannwater fish based on acute testing with a 48%
   a.i. liquid product.

-------
    Applications of sodium bentazon on registered use sites are considered unlikely
    to result in acute hazard to most nontarget organisms because of the generally
    low toxicIty seen In technical and formulated product testing, and low applicatl
    rates.  However, a final risk assessment is deferred due to lack of critical
    environmental chemistry data and certain ecological effects data.

    Biological opinions (covering all registered pesticides) have been received
    from the U.S. Pish and Wildlife Service Office of Endangered Species (GES) for
    three of the crops for which sodium bentazon is registered: corn, sorghun, and
    soybeans.  To avoid Jeopardy to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle (Desmoceru
    californlcus dlmorriius), OES indicates that herbicides should be prohibited
    iron designated areas In California In order to protect the host plant, elder-
    berry (Sambucus spp.).  Labeling developed by EPA to Implement this prohibition
    Is Included in Section F below.

    These~opinions also stated that "...to avoid Jeopardy to Solano grass...the use
    of any herbicides toxic to graminoldes should be prohibited within..." certain
    defined geographic areas of California, because of concerns with spray drift
    and runoff from agricultural areas.  Solano grass (Tuctorla (» Orcuttla)
    mucrohata.) Is an endangered plant species found In a vernal lakebedi in Solano
    County, California.  Since no grass species are claimed on existing labeling "
    to be controlled with sodium bentazon and the herbicide Is used on various
    grass crops, Ecological Effects Branch (with Informal consultation with OES') did
    not consider there to be a threat to Solano grass frcm the registered use of
    this chemical..  Subsequently, information has been located indicating that
    sodium bentazon may affect certain geminating grass species with direct
    exposure at full dosage rates, but that It does not affect grasses after gennina
    Solano grass germinates in March and April.  The earliest planting date for
    corn; sorghum, or soybeans Is for corn, which can be planted as early as April 1!
    Since sodium bentazon is applied postemergence to the weeds, there may be
    little opportunity for an application that could affect Solano grass.
    Further consultation with CES will be Initiated.  Label restrictions, as above,
    and/or plant protection data requirements (under § 158.150) may be Imposed.

    An oyster study and further envlronnental chemistry data are required, in
    part, to evaluate whether there is any hazard to endangered mussel species
    frcm sodium bentazon use.
       ".                       • ««
    The Agency is not aware of any other data which would suggest that the risk
    criteria of § 162.11 have been met or exceeded for the uses of sodium bentazon
    at the present time.

2.  The existing manufacturing-use pesticide product containing sodium bentazon as
    the sole active ingredient may continue to be registered for sale, distribution,
    reformulation, and use, subject to the terms and conditions specified In this
    Standard.   The registrant must provide or agree to develop the additional data
    specified  In Tables A and B of this guidance document to maintain the existing
    MP registration or to permit new registrations of substantially similar sodium
    bentazon MPs.
      •••'•'• •£*•••-•;•",••••

 Rationale t

    There are substantial data gaps in support of existing sodium bentazon registra-
    tions.  The Agency has discretion to cancel or deny registrations because data
    are missing or Inadequate. 'The Agency has elected to use the issuance of this
    Standard as the mechanism for Identifying data needs.  The Agency will complete
    Its hazard evaluation, or determine what further data are necessary to do so,
    upon review of the data being called In under this Registration Standard.  The
    Agency will determine at that time if such data will affect the registrations
    of bentazon.

-------
    If such review determines that criteria for determinations of unreasonable
    adverse effects are met or exceeded (as specified under §162.11), a rebuttable
    presumption shall arise that a notice of intent to cancel registration(s)
    pursuant to FIPRA §6(b)(l) (or a notice of Intent to hold a hearing to determine
    vtoether the registration(s) should be cancelled) may be issued.  If, at any
    time, review of the data indicates that an Imminent hazard (as defined by
    FIFRA § 2(1)) is posed by bentazon use, Immediate suspension procedures may
    be Initiated as per FIFRA. §6(c)(l).

3.  The term TGAI (technical grade of the active ingredient) In the data tables
    refers to the technical grade of bentazon, not sodium bentazon.  On a case-
    by-case basis, testing using sodium bentazon may be acceptable for fulfilling
    TGAI testing requirements.  Clarification or verification of all test materials
    used in studies submitted by the registrant is required.  The Agency reserves
    the right to Impose additional testing of either bentazon or sodium bentazon
    following review of this information and/or review of new studies submitted
    to fulfill data gaps identified in this Standard.

 Rationale;

    Residue chemistry review has indicated that the moiety of concern  (due to
    detectable residues) is bentazon, not sodiun bentazon, and thus  all tolerances
    have been established for bentazon (combined with certain of its metabolites).
    It is possible that, in addition to testing with bentazon, further testing
    with sodium bentazon will be required to evaluate exposure specifically to
    sodium bentazon.  In many cases, the test material used in studies submitted
    to the Agency is not fully identified, and it Is essential that  this information
    be submitted to enable assessment.  Note that, In addition to testing with
    TGAI, certain testing is specifically required using the MP (sodiun bentazon),
    PAI (bentazon pure active Ingredient), PAIRA (pure active Ingredient, radiolabelled}
    TEP (typical end-use product), and metabolites.
                                                              4

4.  No new uses of sodiun bentazon will be permitted until the data base  is  adequate
    to complete a hazard assessment.

 Rationale;

    In accordance with Conditional Registration Interim Final Regulations (FR
    Vol. M, No. 93, May 11, 1979), no new uses or-new products may be registered
    without "data sufficient to allow the Agency to determine that approval  of
    the application would not cause a significant Increase In the risk of unreasonable
    adverse effects on the environment".  For bentazon/sodium bentazon,  the
    entire subchronic and chronic toxicology data base (required to evaluate
    hazard to humans/donestic animals from existing uses) is invalid or otherwise
    Inadequate, and thus totally insufficient for evaluation of any new uses.  The
    Agency is unable to complete a tolerance reassessment of bentazon/sodium
    bentazon because of these gaps, as well as residue chemistry data gaps.

    The Agency is unable to fully assess potential human exposure, potential for
    groundwater contamination, or conplete an ecological effects hazard assessment
    of existing sodium bentazon uses because of exposure assessment/environmental
    chemistry data gaps.  There are also certain product chemistry," wildlife/aquatic
    organism, and nontarget Insect data gaps that prevent full assessment of
    existing use.

-------
5-  The MP and EP manufacturer must make labeling changes  specified in this guidance
    document.  These include grazing restrictions, a rotational crop restriction,
    prohibition of sodium bentazon use where commercial crayfish or catfish
    fanning are practiced, and restrictions regarding use  of bentazon- or sodium
    bentazon-contamlnated water for irrigation.

 Rationale;

    Residue chemistry review indicates a need for grazing  restrictions for corn
    and peanut forage to ensure residues are below established tolerance
    levels of 3 ppm for these forage items at the tine of  grazing.

    To complete an exposure assessment, rotational .crop data,  residue data on
    crops receiving'irrigation water from sodium bentazon-treated rice fields,
    and residue data on crayfish and catfish that are fanned in rice fields are
    among the data required.  Fending submission and review of this data, the
    cited restrictions are required.

    Ecological effects review specifies the modified/updated environmental hazard
    statements as per Proposed Rule 40 CPR §156.55:  Federal Register Vol. 49, No. If
    September 26, 1984.


 6.  Based on review of available data, bentazon itself is  not  considered likely to
    contaminate groundwater.  However, data are required to determine the potential
    for bentazon metabolites to contaminate groundwater.  Bentazon does have the
    potential to contaminate surface waters.

  Rationale;

    Review indicates that bentazon is very mobile In soil  but  that rapid degradation
    is likely to prevent groundwater contamination.  An aged leaching study is
    needed to determine the potential for metabolites to contaminate groundwater.
    Bentazon has the potential to contaminate surface waters because of  1) its
    rice use pattern that Involves either direct application to water or application
    to fields prior to flooding, and 2) runoff from treated areas for other uses.


 D.  CRITERIA FOR REGISTRATION UNDER THE STANDARD

•The misprinted tolerance of 0.5 ppn for Bohemian chill peppers will be
corrected to read 0.05 ppm.

Tolerance reassessment cannot be conducted because of toxicology and
residue chemistry data gaps.

International Tolerances

There are 0.1 ppm Canadian tolerances for bentazon on soybeans, beans,
peas, corn, rice, and peanuts.  Presently, there are no Mexican or
Codex Allmentarius tolerances for bentazon.

                           BENTAZON,  SODIUM SALT*

TYPE PESTICIDE;  Herbicide

FORMULATIONS;
Tech (462)
F1C  (1.66 Ib/gal)
SC/L (4 Ib/gal)

GENERAL WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS;  A selective herbicide for postemergence
control of certain broadleaf weeds and sedges*   It is effective mainly
through contact action and foliar absorption.  Rainfall or overhead irri-
gation within 8 hours after application may nullify its effectiveness.
Apply in 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre at 40 to 80 psi of pressure
with ground equipment; the higher rates are for  use in dense crop or weed
foliage.  Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre and a maximum of
40 psi of pressure with aerial applications.  Do not use flood, whirl
chamber, or controlled droplet applicator  (CDA)  nozzles.  Do not cultivate
within 5 days before or after application  in the following northern and
western states:  AZ, CA, CO, CT, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, ME, MA, MI, MM,
MO, MT, NB, NV, NH, NJ, NY, ND, OH, OR, PA, RI,  SD, UT, VT, WA, WV, WI,
WY.  Do not apply to crops that have been  subjected to stress conditions
such as hail damage, flooding, drought, injury from other herbicides, or
widely fluctuating temperatures, as crop injury  may result.  It may be
necessary to irrigate prior to application to ensure active weed growth;
weeds growing under drought conditions are usually not satisfactorily con-
trolled.

TIME REQUIRED FOR CONTROL;  Not located.

PHYTOTOXICITY TO TARGET WEEDS;  Not located.

PHYTOTOXICITY TO CROPS;  Some leaf-speckling and leaf-bronzing may occur
under certain conditions.

MODE OF ACTION;  Inhibition of 'photosynthesis and particularly, the Hill
reaction.

Livestock Tolerances;  0.02 ppm in milk; 0.05 ppm in eggs and in meat, fat
and meat byproducts of cattle, goats, hogs, poultry and sheep.

   Tolerance, Use, Limitations
   1 ppm (mint)
   Do not apply more than 4 pounds active ingredient
   per acre in 1 season.

   Broadcast to established crops when weeds are
   small and actively growing.  Certain weed problems
   may require the use of the higher dosage and re-
   peat treatments, or the use of an oil concentrate.

   0.05 ppm (rice)
   3.0  ppm (straw)
   Do not apply more than 3 pounds active ingredient
   per acre in 1 season (maximum of 2 pounds active
   ingredient per acre in first crop and 1 pound ac-
   tive ingredient per acre in second ratoon crop).
   General Information;  Do not apply with ground
   equipment when field is flooded because splashing
   will wash the chemical off weed leaf surfaces and
   minimize control.  When making aerial applica-
   tions, orient all nozzles straight down.  Bentazon
   may be used on the first and second (ratoon) crop.

   Early postemergence.  Broadcast.  In an alternate
   flooding culture, apply when there is not water
   on the field and at least 24 hours prior to flood-
   ing.  The weed growth stages at this time general-
   ly correspond to*rice that is tillering (stool-
   ing).  In a continuous flooding culture or when
   treating after permanent flood, apply when weeds
   are above the surface of the water.  For early
   treatment, water may be partly or completely
   drained to expose more w,eed growth.  Do not raise
   water level for at least 24 hours after applica-
   tion.  In CA add nonphytotoxic oil (containing
   emulsifier) to the spray mixture.

   Postemergence.  Tank mix with 3* ,4'dichloropro-
   pionanilide for control of mixed populations of
   grasses and broadleaf weeds.  Apply by ground or
   air to drained fields only.  Do not apply on the
   second (ratoon) crop.

          REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF GENERIC DATA

     A.  This portion of the guidance document is a Notice
issued under the authority of PIPRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B).  The
tables following this section list the data required for
maintaining the registrability of each product.

     EPA has determined that additional generic data described
in Table A must be submitted to EPA for evaluation in order
to maintain in effect the registration(s) of your product(s)
identified as an attachment to the cover letter accompanying
this guidance document.  As required by PIPRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B),
you are required to  take appropriate steps to comply with
this Notice.

    . EPA may suspend the registration of each of those products
unless, within the specified time, you have informed EPA how
you will satisfy the requirements of this Notice.  Any such
suspension will remain in effect until you have complied with
the terms of this Notice.

   B.  What Generic  Datal/ Must be Submitted.  You may deter-
mine which generic data you must submit by consulting Table A
at the end of this chapter.  That table lists the generic
data needed to evaluate the continued registrability of all
products, and the dates by which the data must be submitted.
The required studies must be conducted in accordance with
EPA approved protocols (such as those contained in the Pesticide
Assessment Guidelines 2/ or data collected under the approved
protocols of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD).  If you do not wish to develop data
in support of certain uses appearing in your labeling, you
may delete those uses at the time you submit your revised
labeling.                  ^

     For certain kinds of testing (generally ecological
effects), EPA requires the test substance .to be a "typical
formulation," and in those cases EPA needs data of that type
   I/ Generic data  pertain  to  the  properties or effects of a
particular Ingredient,  and  thus  are  relevant to an evaluation of
the risks of all  products containing that  ingredient, regardless
of the product's  unique composition  or  specific use.  Product-
specific data relate  only to the properties or effects of a
product with a particular composition (or  a group of products
with closely similar  composition).

   2/ The Pesticide Assessment Guidelines  are available-in hard
copy or microfiche  from the National Technical Information
Service, 5285 Port  Royal Road, Springfield, Va.  22161.
                                 29

 for each major  formulation  category (e.g.,  emulsifiable  concen-
 trates, wettable  powders, granulars,  etc.)   These  are  classified
 as generic  data and  when needed  are specified  in Table A.
 EPA ir.ay possess data on  certain  "typical  formulations" but
 not others.  Note;   "Typical  formulation" data should  not be
 confused with product-specific data (Table B)  which are
 required on each  formulation.  Product-specific data are
 further explained in Chapter  III of this  document.

   C.  Options  Available for  Complying With Requirements
       to Submit  Data

     Within 90  days  of your receipt of this' Notice you must
'submit to EPA a completed copy of the form entitled "PIPRA
 Section 3(c)(2)(B)  Summary  Sheet" [EPA Form 8580-1, Appendix
 11-33  for each  of your products.  On that form you must  state
 which  of the following methods you will use to comply  with
 the  requirements  of this Notice:

     1.  (a) Notify EPA that you  will submit the data,  and

         (b) either submit the existing data you believe  will
     satisfy the requirement,  or  state that you will generate
     the data by conducting  testing.  If the test procedures
     you will use  deviate from (or are not specified in)  the
     Pesticide Assessment Guidelines or protocols contained in
     the Reports of Expert Groups to the Chemicals  Group,
     Organization  for Economic Cooperation and  Development
     (OECD)  Chemicals Testing  Programme, you must enclose the
     protocols you will use.

                              OR

     2. Notify  EPA that  you have entered Into  an  agreement
     with one or more other  registrants to Jointly  develop  (or
     share in the  cost of developing) the data.  If you elect
     this option,  you must notify EPA-which registrant(s) are
     parties to  the agreement.

                              OR

     3. Pile with EPA a  completed "Certification of Attempt to
     Enter Into  an Agreement With Other Registrants for Develop-
    ment of Data" (EPA Form 8580-6, Appendix II-4)*/
      V PIPRA sec.  3(c)(2)(B)  authorizes Joint development of
 data by two or more registrants,  and provides a mechanism by
 which parties can obtain an arbitrator's decision if they agree
 to Jointly develop  data but fail  to agree on all the terms of
 the agreement.  The statute does  not compel any registrant to
 agree to develop data Jointly.
               (Footnote continued on next page)
                                  30

-------
                               OR

    b.  Request  that  EPA  amend your  registration by deleting
    the uses for which  the  data are  needed.   (This option is
    not available  to  applicants for  new products.)

                               OR

    5.  Request  voluntary cancellation of the registration(s)
    of your products  for  which the data are needed.  (This option
    is not available  to applicants for new products.)


    D«  Procedures for Requesting Changes in Testing Methodology
        and Extensions  of Time—  		ajL

     EPA recognizes that  you may disagree with our conclusions
regarding the appropriate ways to develop the required data
or how quickly the data must be submitted.  If the test
procedures you plan to  use  deviate from (or are not specified
in) the registration  guidelines or protocols contained in
the reports of the Expert Groups to  the Chemical Groups,
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
Chemicals Testing  Programme, you must submit the protocol
for Agency review prior to  the Initiation of the test.

     If you think  that  you  will need more time to generate the
required data than Is allowed  by EPA's schedule, you may
submit a request for  an extension of time.  The extension
request must be  submitted in writing to the Product Manager.
(Footnote continued from previous page)
       In EPA's opinion, Joint data development by all regis-
trants subject to a data requirement or a cost-sharing agreement
among all such registrants  is clearly  in the public interest.
Duplication of testing  could increase  costs, tie up testing
facilities, and subject an  unnecessarily large number of
animals to testing.

      As noted earlier, EPA has discretion to suspend the
registration of a product when a registrant falls to submit data
required under PIPRA Section 3(c)(2)(B).  EPA has concluded that
It should encourage Joint testing rather than duplicatlve
testing, and that suspension should be withheld in certain cases.
to further this goal.   Accordingly, If (1) a registrant has
informed us of his intent to develop and submit data required
by this Notice; and (2) a second registrant informs EPA that
it has made a bona fide offer to the first registrant to share
in the expenses of the  testing [on terms to be agreed upon
or determined by arbitration under PIFRA Section 3(c) (2)(B)(ill)];
and (3) the first registrant has declined to agree to enter
into a cost-sharing agreement, EPA will not suspend the
second firm's registration.


                                31

-------
The extension request should state the reasons why you believe
that an extension Is appropriate.  While EPA considers your
request, you must strive to meet the deadline for submitting
the required data.

 V A restriction against grazing Is  required for at least 12 days after the last treatment of corn f orage/f odder.
    A 50-day grazing restriction Is required for peanut forage and hay.

 J5/ The residues in plants, not extractable with MeCH and composing 50-67/t of total, should be better characterized.

. 6/ The 6-hydroxy and the 8-hydroxy metabolites are residues of toxicologlcal concern and are to be Included with
    bentazon In the tolerances on crops.

 7/ The metabolism in animals  is not  understood as the acid hydrolysis procedure was not run on any of the methanol
    extracts of eggs and poultry tissues.  This is a data gap and must be corrected.

 8/ Tolerance for residues  In  animal  products must be expressed In terms of combined residues of AIBA plus bentazon.
    There are no residues of the 6- and 8-hydroxy metabolites in animals which would require representation In the
    tolerances for animal products.

 9/  In light of the need for  additional metabolism data noted above, it is possible that additional residue studies for
     new metabolites of concern will  be required.  If needed, these studies should reflect representative growing regions,
     the maximum registered use, sample chromatographs, and methodology which determines the terminal residue of concern.
     If the residue samples are stored for a long period of time, storage stability studies for parent and metabolites of
     concern will be needed.  If detectable residues of bentazon or metabolites of toxicologlcal concern occur in grain,
     a milling study will be needed to show the distribution of these residues in the milled fractions.  These are
     potential data gaps.

10/ The recoveries of bentazon from milk at fortifications of 0.05 and  0.1 ppm are  not acceptable and must be Improved.
ll/ Data on residues In cannery waste are required.
12/ Testing Is required In Idaho and Washington.
137 Testing Is required In Tennessee and Missouri.
IV Methods and quantitative analyses will be needed If residues of toxlcologlcal concern are Identified from requested
    metabolism studies.
18/ Sodium bentazon Is not labeled for use In food/feed handling establishments or  other Indoor sites where food/feed
    could be contaminated.
19/ Reduction of residue data are required whert the assumption of tolerance level residues would result In predicted
    exposure at an unsafe level.  Data on the level of residue In food  as consumed  will be used to obtain a more precise
    estimate of potential dietary exposure.  The Agency recommends that such data be generated to support all pesticides
    requiring a tolerance In case new data are revealed which Indicate  that the pesticide Is more toxic than Initially
    determined — 10 CPR §158.125(b)(ll).

V Data are not required due to the relatively low vapor pressure of bentazon.
5_/ Additional work should be done to chemically Identify, If feasible, other soil metabolites that may have formed.
6/ Data on leaching of unaged bentazon In sandy clay loam and loamy sand soils are acceptable.  The following
   additional data are required:  (1) leaching studies on parent conpound and degradation products for two nore
   soil types;   (2) data on the leaching of degradation products for the two soil types already accepted for
   column leaching; and (3) adsorptlon/desorption studies on sediment.
7/ The following studies would be acceptable If data are submitted to Indicate that the test material used was a

 ll/ For sodium bentazon use on rice, any one of the following will apply:

           (a) A tolerance must be obtained  for any crop used for food or feed that Is exposed to Irrigation
               water containing bentazon or  sodium bentazon residues.

           (b) The product label must Include a restriction against the use of Irrigation water containing
               bentazon or sodium  bentazon residues on crops/grown for food or feed.

           (c) Data must be provided  to demonstrate conditions under which rice Irrigation water can be used on other
               crops without resulting  In Illegal plant residues.

12/ Data on residue accumulation In fish are required; a study on catfish Is preferred.  The chemical name and structure
    of the bentazon residue "NISAA" mentioned In the crawfish uptake study (MRID 00108300) Is needed.

  V Bentazon is neither an organophosphate, nor an analog of a neurotoxic compound,  hence no delayed neurotoxicity study
     Is required.

  5_/ This study is not applicable to exposure conditions.

  6/ This study is not applicable to exposure conditions.   See  footnote #1 above.

  77 A one-year dog study is required.

  8/ Metabolism testing using sodium bentazon Is also required  to determine whether there is any difference from bentazon.

  £/ Although the Agency does not have a chronic data base, there is indication of possible teratogenicity, for example.
     It Is Important to examine dermal absorption at this  time  to better understand potential exposure.  This will enable
     the Agency to determine whether adequate margins of safety exist,  should'adverse effects be seen In required studies.
  10/ There Is no evidence of high acute or subacute  toxlcity.

  5_/ An oyster study is required regarding the rice use (aquatic) and the turf, corn, and soybean uses (since there are
     greater than 300,000 acres of each of these in coastal counties).  This study is also needed to evaluate the
     potential for hazard to endangered mussel species.  Fish and shrimp studies are not required at this time due to the
     low toxlcity seen In other aquatic studies.

  6/ Tnis study is not required for hazard assessment at the present time.  Following Agency review of product and
     environmental chemistry data requested In this Registration Standard, reevaluation of ecological effects data
     requirements will be made.

 III.  REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT-SPECIFIC DATA

     Note:  Unless stated  otherwise in Section I, Regulatory
 Position and Rationale,  this Section applies only to manufac-
 turing use products, not to end use products.

     A necessary first step in determining which statements
 must appear on your product's label is the completion and
 submission to EPA of product-specific data* listed on the
 form entitled "Product Specific Data Report"  (EPA Form
 8580-4, Appendix III-l)  to fill gaps identified by EPA
 concerning your product.   Under the authority of PIPRA sec.
 3(c)(2)(B), EPA has determined that you must submit these
 data to EPA in order to  reregister your product(s).  All of
 these data must be submitted not later than six months after
 you receive this guidance  document.

     Table B—Product-Specific Data Requirements for Manufacturing
 Use Products—lists the  product specific data you must submit.
 Data that are required to  be submitted are identified in the
 column of those tables entitled "Must Data By Submitted
 Under §3(c)(2)(B)."
J|/ Product specific data pertain to data that support the
formulation which is marketed; it usually includes product
chemistry data and acute toxlcity data.

IV.  SUBMISSION OF REVISED LABELING

Note;  This section applies to all products.

     PIPRA requires each product to be labeled with accurate,
complete and sufficient instructions and precautions, reflecting
the results of data concerning the product and its ingredients.
Labeling requirements are set out in 40 CPR 162.10 (see
Appendix IV-1) and are summarized for products containing
this active ingredient as part of this Guidance Document
(See Appendix IV-2).  Applications submitted in response to
this notice must Include draft labeling for Agency review.

     If you fall to submit revised labeling information
complying with this section (supplemented by requirements
described in Section I, Regulatory Position and Rationale),
EPA may issue a notice of intent to cancel the registration
under PIPRA sec. 6(b)(l).

                      A.  Label Contents

     40 CPR 162.10 requires that certain specific labeling
statements appear at certain locations on the label.  This
is referred to as format labeling.  Specific label items
listed below are keyed to Appendix IV-2.

     Item 1.  PRODUCT NAME - The name, brand or trademark is
required to be located on the front panel, preferably centered
In the upper part of the panel.  The name of a product will
not be accepted if It is false or misleading.

     Item 2.  COMPANY NAME AND ADDRESS - The name and address
of the registrant or distributor is required on the label.
The name and address should preferably be located at the
bottom of the front panel or at the end of the label text.
                          ' ^«
     Item 3.  NET CONTENTS - A net contents statement is
required on all labels or on the container of the pesticide.
The preferred location is the bottom of the front panel
immediately above the company name and address, or at the end
of the label text.  The net contents must be expressed in the
largest suitable unit, e.g.,  "1 pound 10 ounces" rather than
"26 ounces." In addition to English units, net contents may
be expressed in metric units.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR
I62.10(d)]
                                  63

-------
     Item 4.  EPA REGISTRATION NUMBER - The registration
number assigned to the pesticide product must appear on the
label, preceded by the phrase "EPA Registration No.," or "EPA
Reg. No."  The registration number must be set in type of a
size and style similar to other print on that part of the
label on which it appears and must run parallel to it.  The
registration number and the required identifying phrase must
not appear in such a manner as to suggest or imply recommendation
or endorsement of the product by the Agency.  See Appendix IV-1.
[40 CPR I62.10(e)3

    Item 5.  EPA ESTABLISHMENT NUMBER - The EPA establishment
number, preceded by the phrase "EPA Est." is the final estab-
lishment at which the product was produced, and may appear
In any suitable location on the label or immediate container.
It must also appear on the wrapper or outside container of
the package if the EPA establishment number on the immediate
container cannot be clearly read through such wrapper or container.
See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CPR I62.10(f)]

    Item 6A. INGREDIENTS STATEMENT - An ingredients statement
is required on the front panel.  The ingredients statement must
contain the name and percentage by weight of each active ingredient
and the total percentage by weight of all inert  ingredients.
The preferred location is immediately below the  product name.
The ingredients statement must run parallel with, and be clearly
distinguished from, other text on the panel.   It must not be
placed in the body of other text.  See Appendix  IV-1.   [40 CPR
162.10(g)]

    Item 6B.  POUNDS PER GALLON STATEMENT - For  liquid  agricul-
tural  formulations, the pounds per gallon of active  ingredient
must be Indicated on the label.

    Item 7.  FRONT LABEL PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS -  Front panel
precautionary  statements mus't be grouped  together,  preferably
within a block outline.  The  table below  shows the minimum type
size  requirements for various size labels.

    Size of Label        Signal Word           "Keep  Out of Reach
    on Front Panel       Minimum Type  Size        of  Children"

    above  10  to  15            12  point              8 point
    above  15  to  30            14  point              10 point
     over 30                  18  point             12 point

     Item 7A.   CHILD HAZARD WARNING  STATEMENT - The  statement
 "Keep Out  of  Reach of Children" must be located  on  the front
 panel above the  signal  word except  where  contact with children
 during distribution or use is unlikely.   See Appendix IV-1.
 [40 CFR I62.10(h)(l)(ii)]



                                  64

-------
    Item 7B.  SIGNAL WORD - The signal word (DANGER, WARNING,
or CAUTION) is required on the front panel immediately below
the child hazard warning statement.  See Appendix IV-1 .
[40 CPR 162.10 (h)(l)(i)]

    Item 7C.  SKULL & CROSSBONES AND WORD "POISON" - On products
assigned a toxicity Category I on the basis of oral, dermal,
or inhalation toxicity, the -word "Poison" shall appear on the
label in red on a background of distinctly contrasting color and
the skull and crossbones shall appear in immediate proximity to
the word POISON.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CPR 162.10(h) (1) (i)]

    Item 7D.  STATEMENT OP PRACTICAL TREATMENT - A statement
of practical treatment (first aid or other) shall appear on
the label of pesticide products in toxicity Categories I,
II, and III.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CPR I62.10(h)(l)(iii)]

    Item 7E.  REFERRAL STATEMENT - The statement "See Side
(or Back) Panel for Additional Precautionary Statements" is
required on the front panel for all products, unless all
required precautionary statements appear on the front panel.
See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CPR I62.10(h) (1) (ill)]

    Item 8.  SIDE/BACK PANEL PRECAUTIONARY LABELING - The
precautionary statements listed below must appear together
on the label under the heading "PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."
The preferred location is at the top of the side or back
panel preceding the directions for use, and it is preferred
that these statements be surrounded by a block outline.  Each
of the three hazard warning statements must be headed by the
appropriate hazard title.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CPR 162.10
    Item 8A.  HAZARD TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS - Where a
hazard exists to humans or domestic animals, precautionary
statements are required indicating the particular hazard, the
route(s) of exposure and the precautions to be taken to avoid
accident, injury or damage.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CPR 162.10
    Item 8B.  ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD - Where a hazard exists to
non- target organisms excluding humans and domestic animals,
precautionary statements are required stating the nature of
the hazard and the appropriate precautions to avoid potential
accident, injury, or damage.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR
                                 65

-------
Item 8C.  PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARD

1.  Flammability statement.  Precautionary statements relating
to flammability of a product are required to appear on the
label if it meets the criteria in Appendix IV-3.  The require-
ment is based on the results of the flashpoint determinations
and flame extension tests required to be submitted for all
products.  These statements are to be located in the side/back
panel precautionary statements section, preceded by the
heading "Physical/Chemical Hazards."  Note that no signal
word is used in conjunction with the flammability statements.

2.  Criteria for declaration of non-flammability.'  The
following criteria will be used to determine if a product
is non-flammable:

    a.  A "non-flammable gas" is a gas (or mixture of gases)
    that will not ignite when a lighted match is placed
    against the open cylinder valve.

    b.  A "non-flammable liquid" is one having a flashpoint
    greater than 350°P (177°C).

    c.  A "non-flammable aerosol" is one which meets the
    following criteria:

        1.  The flame extension is zero inches;

        11.  There is no flashback; and

        ill.  The flashpoint of the non-volatile liquid
        component is greater than 350°F (177°C).

3.  Declaration of non-flammability.  Products which
meet the criteria for non-flammability specified above
may bear the notation ,"n.on-flammable" or "non-flammable
(gas, liquid, etc.)" on the label.  It may appear as a
substatement to the Ingredients statement, or on a back
or side panel, but shall not be highlighted or emphasized
(as with an inordinately large type size) In any way
that may detract from precaution.

1.  Other physical/chemical hazard statements.  When
chemistry data demonstrate hazards of a physical or
chemical nature other than flammability, appropriate
statements of hazard will be prescribed.  Such  statements
may address hazards of exploslvity, oxidizing or reducing
capability, or mixing with other substances to  produce
toxic fumes.
                            66

-------
    Item 9A.  RESTRICTED USE CLASSIFICATION - PIPRA sec. 3(d)
requires that all pesticide formulations/uses be classified
for either general or restricted use.  Products classified
for restricted use may be limited to use by certified applicators
or persons under their direct supervision (or may be subject
to other restrictions that may be Imposed by regulation).

    In the Registration Standard, the Agency has (1) indicated
certain formulations/uses are to be restricted (Section I
Indicates why the product has been classified for restricted
use); or (2) reserved any classification decision until
appropriate data are submitted.

    The Regulatory Position and Rationale states whether
products containing this active ingredient are classified
for restricted use.  If they are restricted the draft label(s)
submitted to the Agency as part of your application must
reflect this determination (see below).

     If you do not believe that your product should be classified
for restricted use, you must submit any Information and
rationale with your application for reregistration.  During
the Agency's review of your application, your proposed classi-
fication determination will be evaluated in accordance with
the provisions of 1»0 CPR I62.11(c).  You will be notified of
the Agency's classification decision.

     Classification Labeling Requirements

     If your product has been classified for restricted use,
the following label requirements apply:

     1.  Front panel statement of restricted use classification.

         a.  The statement "Restricted Use Pesticide" must
         appear at the top ,of the front panel of the label.
         The statement must be set In type of the same
         minimum size as required for human hazard  signal
         word (see table in HO CFR l62.10(h)(l)(iv)

         b.  Directly below this statement on the front panel,
         a summary statement of the terms of restriction must
         appear (including the reasons for restriction If
         specified in Section I).  If use is restricted to
         certified applicators, the following statement is
         required:  "For retail sale to and use only by
         Certified Applicators or persons under their direct
         supervision and only for those uses covered by the
         Certified Applicator's Certification.1'

     2.  Some but not all uses restricted.  If the  Regulatory
Position and Rationale states that some uses are classified
for  restricted use, and some are unclassified, several courses
of action are available:
                              67

-------
          a.   You may label the product for Restricted use.
     If you do so, you may Include on the label uses that
     are unrestricted, but you may not distinguish them
     on the label as being unrestricted.

          b.   You may delete all restricted uses from your
     label and submit draft labeling bearing only unrestricted
     uses.

          c.   You may "split" your registration, i.e., register
     two separate products with Identical formulations, one
     bearing  only unrestricted uses, and the other bearing
     restricted uses.  To do so, submit 'two applications for
     reregistration, each containing all forms and necessary
     labels.   Both applications should be submitted simul-
     taneously.  Note that the products will be assigned
     separate registration numbers.

              Guide to Use of This Bibliography


1.  CONTENT OP BIBLIOGRAPHY.  This bibliography contains
    citations of all studies considered relevant by EPA in
    arriving at the positions and conclusions stated elsewhere
    in the Standard.  Primary sources for studies In this
    bibliography have been the body of data submitted to EPA
    and Its predecessor agencies In support of past regulatory
    decisions.  Selections from other sources Including the
    published literature, in those Instances where they have
    been considered, will be Included.

2.  UNITS OP ENTRY.  The unit of entry In this bibliography
    Is called a "study."  In the case of published materials,
    this corresponds closely to an article.  In the case of
    unpublished materials submitted to the Agency, the Agency
    has sought to Identify documents at a level parallel to
    the published article from within the typically larger
    volumes in which they were submitted.  The resulting
    "studies" generally have a distinct title (or at least a
    single subject), can stand alone for purposes of review,
    and can be described with a conventional bibliographic
    citation.  The Agency has attempted also to unite basic
    documents and commentaries upon them, treating them as a
    single study.

3.  IDENTIFICATION OP ENTRIES.  The entries in this bibliography
    are sorted numerically by "Master Record Identifier," or
    MRID, number.  This number is unique to the citation, and
    should be used at any time specific reference is required.
    It Is not related to the six-digit "Accession Number"
    which has been used to Identify volumes of submitted
    studies; see paragraph 2f(d)(4) below for a further explana-
    tion.  In a few cases, entries added to the bibliography
    late In the review may be preceded by & nine-character
    temporary identifier.  These entries are listed after
    all MRID entries.  This temporary identifier number Is
    also to be used whenever specific reference is needed.

4.  FORM OF ENTRY.  In addition to the Master Record Identifier
    (MRID), each entry consists of a citation containing
    standard elements followed, in the case of material
    submitted to EPA, by a description of the earliest known
    submission.  Bibliographic conventions used reflect the
    standards of the American National Standards Institute
    (ANSI), expanded to provide for certain special needs.

                                   Appendix II-l (continued)

a.  Author.  Whenever the Agency could confidently identify
    one, the Agency has chosen to show a personal author.
    When no individual was identified, the Agency has
    shown an identifiable laboratory or testing facility
    as author.  As a last resort, the Agency has shown
    the first submitter as author.

b.  Document Date.  When the date appears as four digits
    with no question marks, the Agency took it directly
    from the document.  When a four-digit date is followed
    by a question mark, the bibliographer deduced the
    date from evidence in the document.  When the date
    appears as (19??)* the Agency was unable to determine
    or estimate the date of the document.

c.  Title.  In some cases, it has been necessary for
    Agency bibliographers to create or enhance a document
    title.  Any such editorial insertions are contained
    between square brackets.

d.  Trailing Parentheses.  For studies submitted to the
    Agency in the past, the trailing parentheses include
    (In addition to any self-explanatory text) the fol-
    lowing elements describing the earliest known submission:

    (1)  Submission Date.  The date of the earliest known
         submission appears immediately following the word
         "received."

    (2)  Administrative Number.  The next element,
         Immediately following the word "under," is the
         registration number, experimental use permit
         number, petition number, or other administrative
         number associated with the earliest known submission
                       * * *
    (3)  Submitter.  The third element is the submitter,
         following the phrase "submitted by."  When
         authorship is defaulted to the, submitter, this
         element Is omitted.

    (M)  Volume Identification (Accession Numbers).  The
         final element in the trailing parentheses
         identifies the EPA accession number of the volume
         in which the original submission of the study
         appears.  The six-digit accession number follows
         the symbol "CDL," standing for "Company Data
         Library."  This accession number is in turn
         followed by an alphabetic suffix which shows the
         relative position of the study within the volume.
         For example, within accession number 123^56,-the
         first study would be 123^56-Aj the second, 123^56-
         B; the 26th, 123^56-Z; and the 27th, 123^56-AA.
